I'm very excited to tell you that I was recently invited by Etsy to do a guest board on Pinterest! My board has just gone live, and Etsy will be adding more of my picks to it over the course of this week, so keep checking back over the next few days. You'll find my board here.

What is now a stunning beach house in Amagansett, New York for Athena and Victor Calderone is a testament to their ability to see potential — Victor describes black mold hanging from a collapsing ceiling, and a pool filled with mosquitoes (and worse) when they first found it. But they loved the elegant lines of the 1960s house and were determined to restore it to its former glory. Now they enjoy weekends away from their hectic lives with their young son Jivan. More here on Elle Decor.

It's the last day for the lovely giveaway of the beautiful Coco Blanc Sachet from Mi-Septembre, a subtle mix of star anise, cinnamon and clove packaged in a white wide loomed linen sachet, fastened with a coconut shell button and presented in a charming gift box. Leave a comment and email address here before 12:00 midnight EST tonight for a chance to win — a winner will be announced on August 29, 2012. Good luck!
